《Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System 》Chapter 163: Powerful New Jobs
Advertisement
-----
After being amazed by his two new Abilities, Chaos continued into his two New Skills.
Although they were unique skills for him as Job Skills, he didn't had many expectations for them, after all, Skills couldn't develop the same as Abilities, what they could do was limited.
…
[Job-Chaos Child]
A Job for someone who is the Chaos Child.
It enhances the power of all the user's Stats, Stat Growth, Cultivation Speed, Magic and Physical Damage, and Chaos Attribute Damage by +100%.
Grants the ability to utilize Chaos Arts.
…
Right off the bat, the first Job already surprised him. This Job seemed to be a big passive Skill that enhanced everything by +100%! Wouldn't this make him even stronger? It seemed that the Universal Core was desperate to make him grow as quick as possible…
Could Chaos run in danger? An eventual threat which he cannot catch up to yet? Perhaps this will aid him in catching up, even if a little bit more.
And then, there was the Chaos Arts. What were they?
"Can I access them?"
Chaos tried to look upon them through the system, but no system windows emerged showing them.
It was something he might have to figure out himself. However, they couldn't possible be too far away from his own chaos spells, right?
…
[Job-Vampirus Draken Progenitor]
A Job bestowed to the Progenitor of the Vampirus Draken Species.
As the progenitor, it enhances your authority over those who had become of your species through means such as biting, blood ritual, and more.
It enhances the power of all the user's Stats, Stat Growth, Cultivation Speed, Magic and Physical Damage, and Blood Attribute Damage by +100%.
…
Once more, another big stat stick had emerged, this time around it was regarding the second Job Skill he acquired, that was related to Chaos becoming the Progenitor of his new race.

He looked at it and began to wonder what it could possibly mean, but aside from the massive double passive effects, there wasn't much to it. Perhaps he could access blood arts, although he was able to use them already through Bloodrule.
Blood Arts was the ability to shape blood into many shapes and also to control its component. The ability to crystalize blood was one of them, but there were things such as making blood explode, carry diseases, curse, and more.
So, could Chaos Arts be similar in this regard? But couldn't that be achieved with chaos magic? Certainly, Bloodrule and Blood Attribute Magic were different, and could complement each other rather well.
Perhaps Chaos Arts could be the same with Chaos Magic…
Nonetheless, Chaos had no time to waste anymore.
He broke apart the cocoon and found himself in the middle of a land of black rocks, giant metallic pillars growing from the ground, and vast mountain ranges resembling the fangs of a gigantic monstrous creature.
There were gargantuan skeletons lying around the entire massive landscape, of humanoid giants, dragons, and other gigantic beasts that had died long ago.
Over the skeletons, all sorts of ores were growing and developing, alongside massive black mushrooms and black mold.
There were rivers of nasty black water rushing around, and strange alien-like creatures coated in metallic plates wandering about. Such creatures resembled nothing chaos had ever seen and could only be described as six-legged spiders with metallic black plates, in the shape of a horse, and having sharply colored crests atop their heads.
This land was new. How long as he been sleeping?
"Chaos-sama, you're awake!"
Abyss greeted him as she met him.
He had been resting over a large pile of fur and hide harvested from beasts roaming around.
There was a small camp built around his cocoon.

"How long did it take me to evolve?" wondered Chaos.
"Around two days. We reached this place a day ago and we camped through the night. There were some giant beasts that came to annoy us, but we killed them. Are you hungry? I've waited for so long…" she sighed.
"Yeah I'm quite hungry… And sorry, I didn't thought it would take so long to evolve." Said Chaos.
Chaos quickly came out of the "nest" he had been put over as if he were a small egg, as everyone within his group greeted him. Some of them were missing because they had gone to scout the area.
"This is the land according to the map that leads to the Onyx Kingdom. Where the Steel Demons live. They're a race of demons who grow ores across their bodies and at maturity, they're covered in powerful metallic armors. They live in this harsh environment rather comfortably…" said Belphegor, as he read a map given to him by the King of Lucives.
Chao admired the lugubrious, mysterious, and alien beauty of this new scenario, the massive pillars of metal growing from the ground made it all look even more surreal.
"These lands are called the Ore Lands. Ores of all kinds grow in incredible quantities, but not many come here due to the harsh conditions, the cold temperatures, and the deadly beasts. It is not secure to mine resource here for the feeble mortals." Said Belphegor.
Chaos admired the place while eating a large spider-like monster leg, which was grilled and seasoned by Abyss. It had the flavor of octopus, crab, and fish all mixed together with the texture of chicken.
"I see. Did you find it?" asked Chaos.
"Yes, the Kingdom is behind the large mountains there, but we came across a large group of Ore Titans, gargantuan humanoid beings all of whom are Pseudo Demi Deity Realm, of Rank 3… They're a big family of around 20 of them, they detected us and wouldn't let us get through. Perhaps they're the guardians of the Ore Demons." Said Belphegor.
"I see… We can go greet them. If they don't let us pass, we can always use violence." Said Chaos.
"We had not done so because we were waiting for my lord's thought in the matter. But if it ends in such a thing, it won't be so bad." Said Belphegor.
"Oh, I can't wait! Maybe they'll taste good." Said Abyss.

To Become a Troll: A Monster Evolution Story
Thrust into the supernatural world of the deep forest, Paul finds himself in a situation where he could find himself prey to pretty much every other creature and animal around. If he's to survive, he must shed his weak form to grow stronger and survive. But the forest is full of creatures beyond human understanding, that act without the need for food or shelter and that seem to exist for the sole purpose of dragging humans to the bottom of a murky river. Is it really possible to kill such creatures when your only strength is physical prowess? --- A monster evolution story based on Swedish creature mythology. The focus will overwhelmingly be on the progression of the main character and his slow increase in strength. Although many of the creatures are based on Swedish creature mythology, I have taken creative liberties in order to ensure that evolution lines and the such are in line with the usual. The main thought I had when going into this is that I want to delay the "meeting a human" section as much as possible. My plan is to get him to endgame levels of strength before even sniffing the possibility of seeing a human. Whether I'm actually able to do this remains to be seen, but I'm holding my thumbs! Also, I'm aware that there are other troll evolution stories, but this is unrelated to them. They can do their stuff and I'll do mine, but this is in no way related to any of them. That said, hope you enjoy it!

Tower of Somnus
When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting. The Galactic Consensus interviewed our leaders and subjected us to a battery of psychological tests to determine our progress as a society. They found us to be selfish, wasteful, impulsive, and boorish neighbors. Earth was blockaded and our collective encounter with our extrasolar neighbors rapidly faded from memory. All they left behind was a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game that participants played in their sleep. The Consensus said that it would let us interact with our neighbors in a controlled setting. That it would teach us to be better members of the galactic community. The megacorporations that controlled Earth ignored the game until they learned that the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic, supernatural abilities and rumors exploded from nothing and a subscription to The Tower of Somnus became a status symbol. Katherine ‘Kat’ Debs doesn’t have much, but it could be worse. Born in an arcology, she was assigned a job in the megacorporation that raised her almost as soon as she could work. Despite the stability of her corporate life, she wanted something more. A chance to claw her way up the rigid social and financial ladder to make something of herself. A chance that wouldn’t come naturally to someone as familiar with dark alleyways and the glint of steel as she was with office work and corporate niceties.Book One is up on Kindle Unlimited as of 7/6/22 - https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0B2X3L8H5

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Eleknar's Heir, The Infernal Prince (Demonic LitRPG)
A LitRPG and Epic Fantasy adventure: The son of a mafia boss finds himself abruptly plunged into an alternate world where he must find a way to survive the horrors of a realm called Oblivion, make pacts with demons, form unnatural friendships, and figure out what the hell is going on – all while dealing with the depressing reality of his past. An artificial intelligence has ascended into godhood and has thrown Trey’s home into Chaos, pulling millions of people into an enchanted new life... or, in Trey's case, a violent nightmare. As far as he can tell, he is locked into what the system prompts call a ‘Death Game.’ Here, artificial reality is manufactured for the enjoyment of a being called the All Spirit, and he has a very real chance of truly dying. Just how real is this place though? Is it merely a simulation, a realistic game of life and death… or is it something much more? Elves, dwarves, undead, and other races only thought to exist in fairy tales are now a reality. Black magics, pantheons of gods at odds with one another, predatory symbiotes, and an unholy calling, the significance of which he has yet to grasp, are all entangled with his fate. ============================================ ============================================ Some things to expect when reading this book series: - Brutal storyline where no character is safe and choices have real consequences. Heavy on action, survival, and adventure - An isekai. The main character struggles to find himself, repeatedly crossing the line between good and evil as other important characters influence his life - Harem (explicit), though this only starts about 180k words in. - Good amounts of crafting, town building, and guild building later on - Good amounts of fantasy-related LitRPG stats, rank ups, and evolutions. Heavy focus on demons and black magics - There will be many points of view, but there is only one primary/main character that takes up 90% of the POV - A long storyline. Currently (as of 7/26/2021) I have about 1500k words written, though much of it will have to be heavily edited and re-written. I also plan to go far beyond 1500k words if people like the story (A lot of it is also in the 'backstories' book that explores the guildmates, the link is below) - Chapters will have an average of about 4k-5k words, a little longer than most other books on RR, though there will be exceptions for more and less. I just didn't like posting chapters that didn't feel complete, and 2k words often felt like too little. - If you like super-heroic and goody-goody characters, this story is not for you. ***Updated once a week***
